Unsounded

I introduced my other half to it a couple months ago. I had him reading a chapter a day. Sometimes two chapters a day, especially in the beginning (paired chapter 1 + 2, 3 on its own, 4 + 5).

So it took him about two weeks. It's very doable. The other user saying a couple months is being a little unfair. It feels like a slow read because we're reading it bit by bit, page by page. But if you read at a normal speed, it goes by at quite a nice clip.

>wakanda

no

>thinking cresce is remotely like wakanda

bitch please, wakanda doesn't deserve to be in the same league as cresce

Don't worry kiddo, ya dad is coming with a new wife
Depends how fast you read. Despite the first chapters are under 100 pages, it takes time for me at least to process new information. And the heavy dialect Sette talks in at first chapters can be hard to read (yes, it get changed in later chapters).
I would instead read 1 chapter/day. Maby an exception on 200+ chapters. Soo that would take less than 3 weeks. Again, from start to finish depends mostly on your ability to read and process information.

Not so bad, certainly not months. Probably a week or two though. It's extremely worth it and the other user is right it's not speed reader friendly. Every page is dripping with detail. But you can still binge.

The comic is a little over 1600 pages now, so depending on how much time you have, a couple of days if you have nothing to do, maybe a week or two otherwise.

People who read it fast miss important things and then wonder why they don't understand the plot, make sure the dude is actually processing what's going on

thanks
Been trying to get going but get distracted for one reason or another

Depends on how fast you read, how much time you have, how engrossed you are, etc. Could be a few days or a few weeks. The current length is equivalent to around 30-35 manga chapters/comic books.

Oh, fuck, I'd completely forgotten that was HIM. I guess he's changed circumstances so much I didn't associate him with that dude.

He really is an odious little worm, isn't he? His death will be as satisfying as Hetr's. I know Cope will make sure of that.

Sorry, I meant like 50-55. done the math a while ago.

Oh yeah, when my SO was reading the really long and heavy chapters, I'd pick a good halfway point to divide them up. That happened with the Deadly Nevergreen Pt 2, which definitely needs to be broken up into two separate days for sure.

I think the last 2 chapters also got broken up in half too, they were just that long and heavy.

But at the end of the day, pairing the early chapters together will make up for breaking up some of the later chapters. It'll take about 16-17 days to get through the whole backlog if you take it at a chapter a day with this approach.

Once you finish reading the comic and if you like lore, the author has a Tumblr where she takes questions. Sometimes she answers them in the threads too. And it's a comic with a lot of allusions and foreshadowing that lends itself to regular rereading and theory crafting. The threads themselves are usually pretty good too. Plenty of supporting material to lose yourself in.

I read fast and I understand the plot just fine. My SO also read a chapter a day and understood just fine, too.

The benefit of reading slowly isn't to understand the plot, it's to catch the little details and foreshadowing. And most people don't catch those things until their second reread later on, because information provided in later updates clues them in on what to pay attention to.

I actually think most of the people who don't know what's going on are people who speed-read each page as it comes out, which is a different matter-- they're casual readers, so they've forgotten stuff from several chapters ago because the last time they read it was years ago. But someone reading the whole book for the first time won't necessarily have that issue.

Plus the Tumblr is chock full of juicy lore details. If people here reference something you don't recognize from the comic, it's almost certainly from the Tumblr. It's where she puts all the stuff that would be too wordy or off topic for the main story

Fair point, though I'd say catching the foreshadowing ahead of time makes the experience more satisfying, and that takes more attention to detail than the plot by itself

Yeah, and to be fair, if it's been a while since you did a reread, it's easy to forget.

He is such a fucking sleazeball, though. I really hope his death involves Ruck contemplating briefly if he should eat him, deciding he's not worth it, and casually heartshanking him then tossing him aside like the trash he is to reach the person he's actually interested in.

The early chapters can be a little rough to get into but it gets really good, and after chapter 7 you'd be absolutely hooked.

Oh yeah, it definitely makes it more satisfying. But user shouldn't have an issue understanding the plot, and once he's caught up and able to take each update as it comes, he can go back and reread specific chapters at leisure.
